Business profile

Updated

Macy’s, Inc. is a retailer that sells clothing, accessories, beauty products, home furnishings and other consumer goods through stores, websites and mobile apps. It operates under three names: Macy’s, Bloomingdale’s and Bluemercury. The company traces its founding to 1929 and is headquartered in Cincinnati. Tony Spring is chief executive officer and chairman.

The Macy’s nameplate is a department store serving a broad customer base, with merchandise for women, men and children as well as cosmetics and home goods. It operates full-line and smaller stores, alongside Macy’s Backstage, an off-price concept. Off-price retail offers merchandise at reduced prices rather than relying only on a traditional department-store assortment.
